Tenderloin Beef Tips and Mushrooms is my “go to” recipe for my boys. It’s easy to make and satisfies all beef lovers!
I live with two big guys that love beef. My vegetarian daughter is at college so my husband and teenage son think they have free range to decide what’s for dinner every night. When I ask them what they want for dinner, it’s usually steak so I made these tenderloin beef tips for them.
Whenever I can, I love to buy Certified Angus Beef Brand. Their beef is fabulous and full of flavor.
Buying Beef Tenderloin Tips
Beef Tenderloin can really drive our grocery bill up so I am going to give you some tips today. Sorry about the pun. I just had to throw it in.
Making tenderloin tips are a great way to get a premium cut of meat without paying the premium price. Tenderloin beef tips are basically the leftovers from the tenderloin roasts. They weigh various amounts and come in different sizes because you are getting the leftovers or scraps. The prices are much better than if you were to buy the tenderloin roast or filet mignon steaks.
When I see them at my grocery store, I buy as many as I can and store them in the freezer. If there is opportunity to buy tenderloin beef tips at a discounted price, I take it!
You can get a bigger piece of meat or tenderloin steaks too and cut them up but the price is going to be higher. Still, it’s worth it to me because my family loves this meal and it’s so easy to make.
This is a gourmet meal that cooks really quick. I’m talking so quick that if you have 30 minutes to cook dinner, you might be able to nap the last ten.
What type of pan is best to cook this beef recipe in?
I love to use a cast iron pan for this recipe. I get my cast iron pan really hot and dinner is ready to roll. It’s not necessary to have a cast iron pan for this recipe but I do love cooking any type of steak in it. I own three different cast iron pans. A heavy stainless steel pan would also work.
Valentines day is next week and this would be a great meal to make at home. I don’t know about you, but I’d much rather make Tenderloin Beef Tips with Mushrooms then be at a crowded steakhouse.
Cancel the reservations, fire up your cast iron pan and have a relaxed dinner with a nice glass of wine. This beef goes great with Parmesan Truffle Hasselback Potatoes and Lemon Roasted Asparagus. Don’t forget to serve some Cannoli Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries for dessert!
Tenderloin Beef Tips and Mushrooms
Ingredients
- 2 Teaspoons steak seasoning I used Montreal steak seasoning
- 1 1/4 pound beef tenderloin ends cut in 1 1/2 inch pieces
- 10 ounces baby bella mushrooms cut in half
- 1 Tablespoon canola oil
- 1/2 cup beer
- 1 Tablespoon salted butter
- 2 Tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Sprinkle the steak seasoning on the mushrooms and steak. Heat the cast iron pan on medium high heat.
- Add the oil to the pan and add filet pieces. Cook for two minutes until they start to brown but are not cooked all the way through. Remove from pan.
- Add mushrooms to pan and cook until wilted and juices are released, about 5 minutes. Add beer to the pan and reduce heat to medium. Cook until beer starts to reduce and mushrooms look almost cooked through. Add butter and cook until melted and sauce slightly thickens. Whisk sauce.
- Place steak back in pan and cook for about 2 more minutes or until steak is cooked through but still a little pink on the inside.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and season with salt to taste before serving.

I love beef! Can’t wait to try this recipe!
This dish looks great– love the simplicity of the recipe and the ingredient list!
This looks absolutely delicious. We love mushrooms in my house, they’re so healthy and tasty. I will try your recipe.
Haha, I love the “you might be able to nap the last 10” of cooking this recipe. Sounds like something I could get used to. 😉 But seriously, I’m with your guys on this and I LOVE steak. I could eat it every day, but I know I shouldn’t and I know it gets pricey. But this looks absolutely delicious. My hubby usually cooks the steaks, but I might have to surprise him with this one!
What a delicious and quick dinner!!
Your dish looks delicious. bet it went over very well with your loved ones. 🙂
I’m not a fan of parsley but apart from that, this recipe looks delicious! Love me some mushrooms
It looks delicious and I love that is super quick to make
My husband would 100% love this! I’ll have to remember it for next week’s dinner. Looks great 🙂
Beef and mushrooms is one of my favorite flavor combos! I love the addition of the beer here!
This would be a great dinner for Valentine’s Day! Romantic, easy and delicious and just what the colder weather calls for.
One of my family favorites! Tender meat, loads of flavor, highly recommend.
Quick meal for a weeknight. My hubby loves mushrooms, so this is was big hit.
This looks so good! We love beef and mushrooms together and would be perfect for a weekend dinner!
My family loved this! Thanks for such an easy and delicious meal that will now be in our regular rotation!
Delicious! And very easy! I’m thinking of adding some onions next time I make this.
Great idea!!
I know it’s a quick dish to cook, however can I make ahead of time and freeze?
I wouldn’t recommend that as it might make the meat a bit tough and filet tips are a bit pricey to do that to If you wanted to cook ahead of time and freeze, I would use a less expensive cut of meat and make stew or a pot roast but of course the cooking time would be much longer.
Can the beer be substituted?
Yes, beef broth can be used instead.
I made this recipe tonight and it was delicious! We didn’t have steak seasoning so we used 21 seasoning salute from TJ’s instead. I didn’t have mushrooms but did have small golden potatoes, so I cut those up, microwaved them for 5 minutes until just fork tender, then threw them in the freezer for about 15 minutes. We added some sliced onion before adding the potatoes (my mushroom replacement) and browned those for a little. We used IPA beer because that’s what we had. Finally, we added a little Worcestershire sauce in the end to round out the flavor which probably would not have been necessary is we had steak seasoning. We let it sit for 5 minutes after cooking to absorb all the juices fully and dug in. It was very tasty and tender! Will definitely make again. Also took less than 30 minutes from start to finish.
Could Apple ale be used instead of regular beer?
I’ve never tried it but I’m sure it could. It would probably give the sauce a bit of a sweeter taste. You can also use wine or beef broth.
Perfect for use of the trimmings of a whole beef tenderloin…when on sale.
